Windows 7 freezes

One thing I didn't see anyone try was to tell the NIC to not ever, ever go to sleep.

Go to Network & Sharing Center-->Change Adapter Settings-->rightclick Properties-->Configure--> Power Management and uncheck all boxes.

Hope it works.

I've had this happen twice. I've done a clean install to a seperate hard drive with all others taken out. However the last update I install kills my system. On boot it says windows 7 but won't even show the graphic starting up. Pressing the power button turns the computer off instead of haveing to hold it. I have an older Pentium 4 3.0 with 1 gig of ram. It was working great until this update though. Faster even than XP. So I guess watch out for that latest update.

I searched and tried almost every "solution" out there for the freezes, and the high-performance power setting did it for me. Thanks!

Great! I was wondering if my wife's computer was the only one in the world that had the freeze problem that was eliminated via power settings. My friend at MS thinks I'm crazy, it seems (but HE wasn't able to fix it either). "Damn" I remember him saying...

My build is 7100 and i also have this problem. my laptop is an Lg p310 and i've tried about everything said here and nothing worked. Someting i can't get right is that sometimes it seems it freezes when i'm processing heavy stuff ( when i was trying the performance check for the first time and openned the start menu it went unresponsive ) and others it just seems kind of random.... for example now i turned it on and went to the bathroom while it booted, and when i came back it was frozen to the mouse at the login screen... any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I think i've found the problem in my case. the TurboMemory drivers were the problem. or at least the pc hasn't frozen so far. hope this helps

I have had problems like this with several computers and other OS's and on more than one occasions it was the memory chips that were faulty.. memory test programs did not find the problem and only by trying different chips in desperation did I solve the problem..there are other hardware problems, HD's; Video Cards; Motherboards and the list goes on and on..best of luck

I actually found my problem. No thanks to Microsoft. After these updates, don't do the usual restart. Totally shut down your computer so that these updates actually install. I did this and have not had any problems. Why can't they just tell us to do these type of things? So frustrating. Think I'll go back to Linux.

I have a Celeron 3.2 with 1GB ram. I have not had any issues with the Restart Button. The only time I have had startup issues like this was when I setup dual booting and didnt get it right the first time around.

The computer has always turn off at the press of the power button. The only time you need to hold the button is when the computer has become non responsive.

Thanks for posting your fix. Even though I have not experienced this problem. Others may and could possibly use this solution as a fix.

I have the freezing problem as well
